When you’re a supermodel like Joan Smalls, you spend a lot of time in a hair and makeup chair.

Fortunately for Smalls, she’s come up with a DIY solution to the damage. And fortunately for us, it involves only three simple natural oils.

In an interview with Byrdie, the 30-year-old model revealed the natural oils mix she uses every day to keep her eyelashes moisturized and her hair edges hydrated. The mixes combines three fan-favorite oils: coconut, castor and lavender. “I do a mix of castor oil, coconut oil, lavender oil, and put it on a brush and apply it to my eyelashes and my hair edges for extra moisture,” Smalls said. “Since I’m constantly putting so much makeup on my face, I try to do this every day.”
